摘要: Abstract Background: Approximately 20% of patients become infected after cardiac surgery. Pneumonia is one the most serious infections, increasing chance death 14-fold. The higher frequency pneumonia surgery may be explained by surgical conditions. Focusing on high-risk groups make several strategies more effective, and external validation an essential phase building prediction models to identify such groups. Purpose: To compare performance two previously validated for (classification regression tree [CART] a logistic model [LRM]) set. Methods: A series 527 adult at small private hospital were analyzed prospectively prognostic factors pneumonia. occurred in 7.6% this derivation probability onset was estimated means CART LRM using cut-off point that maximized both se...
